DEATH IN THE WATER.
How Universal Menace 20 Health May be
Disarmed.

A few years ago the people in certain sec
ton In one OF the leading cities OF the State
were prostrated with malignant disease, and
upon investigation II was found that only
those who used water from q famous old we'll
were tho victims.
Professor Il A. baltimore, analyst OF the
New York State Board OF Health, upon analyz-
ing water from this well, found it more deadly
than the city sowagel
The filing up OF the old we'll tipped the
ravages OF the disease.
Not long since the writer noticed while some
men were making an excavation for u large
building, stratum of dark colOred earth run
ming from near the surface TO hard pan.
There it took another course toward we'll
near at hand The water from this we'll ha
for years been tainted with tho drainage from
receiving vault, the percolations OF which
had discolored tho earthl
Terrblel
A similar condition of things exists in every
village AMI city where we'll water Is used, and
though tho filtoring which the fluids receive in
passing through the earth may give them
clear appearance, yet the poison and disease
remains, though the water may look never 80
clear.
II is still worse with the farmer, for the
drainage from the barn yard and the slops
from the kitchen eventually find their way in
TO the family we'll
The same condition of things exists in our
large cities, who water supplies are rivers
fed by little streams that carry of the filth
and drainage from houses This water" IL
eventually drunk by rich and poor alike with
great evil
Some cautious people resort TO the filter
for purifying this water, but even the filter
does not remove tins poison, FOR water or the
most deadly character may pass through this
filter and become clear, yet the poison dis
guised is there.
They who use filters know that they must
be renewed at regular periods, for even though
they do not take out all the impurIty, they
soon become foul
Now in like manner the human kidneys act
as q filter for the blood, and If they are filled
up with impurities and become foul, like the
filter, all the blood in the system coursing
through them becomes bad, for 1t is now a
conceded fact that the kidneys are the chief
means whereby the blood is purified. These
organs are filed with thousands OF hGir-ltke
tubes which drain the impurities from the
blood, as the sewer pipes drain impurities
from our houses.
sewage escapes into tho earth and fills tho
house with poisonous gas; so il any of the
thousand and one little hair-like sewer tubes
of the kidneys break down, the entire body is
affected by this awful poison.
1t Is a scientific fact that the kidneys have
few nerves of sensation; and, consequently,
disease may exist in these organs for a long
time and not be suspected by the individual
II is impossible to filter or take the death out
OF the blood when the least arrangement ex-
filtered then tho uric acid, or kidney poison,
removable only by Warmers safe cure, accu-
mulates in the system and attacks any organ,
producing nine out Of ten ailments, just AZ
sewer gas and bad drainage produce so many
fatal disorders.
Kidney disease may be known to exist il
there is any marked departure from ordinary
health without apparent known cause, and 1t
should be understood by all that the greatest
peril exists, and is intensified II there is the
least naOaet tn treat IL nrOmDtlV with that
great specific, Walner's safe cure, RENE ~
that has received the highest recognition by
scientific men who have thoroughly investi-
gated the character of kidney arrangements
They may not tell us that the cause of 30
many diseases in this organ is the impure
water or any other one thing, but this poison
GUS water with its impurities coursing con-
stantly through these delicate organs I'M
doubleday does produce much OF the decay and
disease which eventually terminate in the fatal
Brights disease, for this disease, alike among
the drinking men, prohibitionists, the tobacco
slave, the laborer, the merchant, and the
tramp, works terrible devastation every year.
1t Is we'll known that the liver, which is 80
easily thrown "out OF gear, as they say, very
readily disturbs the action Of the kidneys.
That organ when deranged Immediately an
nounces the fact by sallow skin, con-
stipated bowels, coated tongue and head
aches, but the kidney when diseased struggles
on for q long time aud the fact of its disease
can only be discovered by the. aid Of the
microscope or by the physician who is skilful
enough to trace the most indirect effects in
the system to the arrangement of these organs,
| as the pr mo cause.
The public is learning much on this subject,
| and when it comes to understand that the
| kidneys are the real health regulators, as they
are the real blood purifiers of the system,
| they will escape an infinite amount of un-
necessary suffering, and add length of days
| aud happiness to their lot
